After introduction of the earthquake resistant design code, it is required to achieve seismic performance of existing bridges as well as earthquake resistant design of new bridges. The achievement of seismic performance for existing bridges should satisfy the no collapse requirement based on the basic concept of earthquake resistant design, therefore, various methods with different strengthening scale should be suggested according to bridge types and importance categories. At present for typical bridges, most studied and applied strengthening methods are bearing change, pier strengthening and shear key installation for improvement of seismic performance. In this study a typical existing bridge, for which earthquake resistant design is not considered, is selected as an analysis bridge. Design changes are carried out to satisfy the no collapse requirement by way of the ductile failure mechanism and seismic performances are checked. It is shown that the seismic performance of existing bridges can be achieved by way of redesign of bridge system, e.g. determination of pier design section for substructure and change of bearing function for connections between super/sub-structure.

Land sliding is one of well-known nature disaster. As a part of effort to reduce damage from land sliding, many researchers worked on increasing prediction ability. However, because previous studies are conducted mostly by non-statisticians, previously proposed models were hardly statistically justifiable. In this paper, we predicted the probability of land sliding using the logistic regression model. Since most explanatory variables under consideration were correlated, we proposed the final model after backward elimination process.

Korea has many mountainous regions, and slope collapse that can lead to damage in road facilities and loss of lives often occurs. Rockfall-protection facilities are necessary to reduce such damages. Among these facilities, the standard Korean rockfall-protection fence is designed to resist 50 kJ of rockfall impact energy. However, the range of rockfall energy significantly varies depending on the condition of the slope, and it sometimes reaches up to 100 kJ. Thus, providing several types of standardized rockfall-protection fence is necessary to address the different rockfall impact energy for efficient response to rockfalls. This paper presents a study on standardized rockfall-protection fence for various rockfall impact energy using finite-element analysis. According to the results, standardized rockfall-protection fences against rockfall impact energy of 30 and 100 kJ were proposed and have been verified.

Recently, use of the precast concrete (PC) system, which can increase economy by minimizing field work, has rapidly increased. However, the PC system cannot exhibit structural performance under construction, specifically before integration between members. Furthermore, since it is difficult to secure the structural integrity of beam-column joints even after construction, the PC system is vulnerable to progressive collapse. In the PC system, various types of details for PC beam-column joints have been proposed, while the structural/construction details of PC system generally used in Korea differ from those of overseas PC systems. However, studies on the progressive collapse of the domestic PC system are limited. Thus, in this study, we investigated the structural/construction details of PC beam-column joints mainly used in Korea. Based on the investigation, for the prototype PC system with typical joint details, a nonlinear finite element analysis was carried out to evaluate its structural performance under progressive collapse. Further, a parametric study was performed, and the effect of the design parameters was investigated, to recommend a method to improve the progressive collapse resistance of the PC system.

캐비테이션 현상은 고 유속 환경에서 발생(inception), 성장(growth), 붕괴(collapse) 및 소멸(disappearance) 과정이 반복적으로 일어나며 그 과정에서 기포붕괴에 따른 큰 충격압력을 방지하려는 분야와 이를 능동적으로 산업분야에 적용하려는 분야로 크게 대별된다. 본 연구에서는 캐비테이션의 붕괴거동을 수중 초음파 진동자에서 미세기포를 발생시켜 PIV기법을 이용하여 유동장을 계측하였다. 초음파 진동자는 직경 16 mm이며, 진동주파수는 20 kHz, 진폭은 $5{\mu}m$, $10{\mu}m$, $30{\mu}m$ 및 $50{\mu}m$를 각각 적용하였다. 유동구조, 난류강도, 레이놀즈 응력에 대한 통계적 유동정보를 계측한 결과 충격압력의 원인으로 알려진 캐비티 붕괴로 인해 유동특성을 확인하였다.

원자력 압력용기의 소성변형에 의한 파괴의 방지를 위한 설계개념의 요체는 압력용기에 발생하는 응력을 하중형태와 중요도에 따라 분류하고, 분류된 각각의 응력범주에 대해서 극한설계의 개 념에 의한 붕괴하중에 안전계수를 도입한 것이다. 원자력 압력용기에 적용된 안전계수는 재료의 인장가동에 대해서 3이다. 이것은 일반용 압력용기에 대한 안전계수 4보다 적은 값이나, 원자력 압력용기의 소성변형에 의한 파괴방지를 위하여 이미 모든 작용하중에 대하여 응력해석을 수행 하였고 그 결과를 평가한 것이기 때문에 안전계수는 낮더라도 더 안전하다고 할 수 있다.

This study aims to present cases of rock slope failures caused by geological structures. Status of slope failures, results of cause analysis and stabilizing methods are introduced, focusing primarily on rock slope failures caused by specific geologic structures, such as intersection of faults infilled with clay, foliation and fault shear zone by dike intrusion and deep-seated clayey layer along lithologic boundary. Detailed geological survey, geophysical exploration and boring survey were conducted for cause analysis. Stabilizing method to prevent further slope failures and to ensure long-term stability of slopes were established, considering characteristics of geological structures, types of failure and geological conditions.

This paper has studied about the development and application of landslide collapse prediction real-time monitoring system based on USN to detect and measure the collapse of landslide. The rainfall measuring sensor, gap water pressure sensor, indicator displacement measuring sensor, index inclination sensor, water content sensor and image analysis sensor are selected and these are applied on the test bed. Each sensor's operation and performance for reliability verification is tested by the instrument which is installed in the field. As the result, u-IT based real-time landslide monitoring system which is developed by this research for landslide collapse detection could minimize life and property damages because it makes advance evacuation with collapse risk pre-estimate through real-time monitoring on roadside cut and bedrock slopes. This system is based on the results of this study demonstrate the effect escarpment plan are spread throughout.
